Now see, this is a debate on opinion - sister Elphaba (thanks for the sister kiss) and I do not agree about the brilliance of Thomas Sowell or of Cal Thomas. Cal is a bit more based on religious beliefs, I think, but Sowell is more intellectual.
I don't think anyone can replace Ms Ivins, but that's because I don't see any middle aged Texan or southern women who have the panache she did. Same as Ann Richards - couldn't stand her politics, but her personality made it bearable.
Perhaps I am yearning for an earlier age in politics, where it was more civil to disagree with one who does not hold the same beliefs. It did not get personal, and despite the Clintonian call of halting the "politics of personal destruction", it continues, with great abandon, in the Clintons' own party. By the Clintons themselves, as evidenced by the Clinton/Obama goings-on these last few days.
Right now, I am watching conservatives and the Republican party in what is unfolding. I must now ask myself if I want a traditional conservative or if I want a more moderate one. I'm still making up my mind. There are many in the field.
